Launch of All Things Android Costa Rica

Launch of All Things Android Costa Rica

Submitted by Bill Anderson on 02/23/2012 - 17:08.

I created the All Things Android site for two reasons. First, I wanted all Android topics to appear on a separate site. Second, I wanted to focus on Android, as it relates to Costa Rica. While Android devices are not new to Costa Rica, there is surge of interest in Android phones and tablets. In Costa Rica, GSM (3G) is the norm. All 3G mobile devices are unlocked, and now there are three carriers (Kolbi/ICE, Claro, and Mobistar).There are no LTE cell networks, so discussions of 4G devices is not relevant. Consequently, I have refocused my blog sites.

Outline for Basic Linux Done

Submitted by Bill Anderson on 12/03/2011 - 09:11.

Writing an outline takes time, as each chapter must build on the previous chapter, and each section build on previous material. At worst, simple use of a command precedes more complex use. The Basic Linux course is a foundation to more advanced courses on Linux. With so many avenues to explore, I may be writing courses for years. The initial outline will change as I write the course, but it provides an initial path.

A New Adventure

Submitted by Bill Anderson on 11/09/2011 - 14:16.

When I lived in Israel, I wrote my first book, and to my delight, I found a publisher. I author, or co-authored, five traditional books. It was a great learning process. There were two big problems caused by the long publishing process. In a fast changing field, technical books had a very short shelf-life. The first revision had to be started before the first book hit the bookstore shelves. As much as I enjoyed seeing my books on a bookstore shelf, it was not profitable.
